What makes a good debate?

Methodology

It should have a fishbowl

Only one person at a time is allowed to talk

Questions having many different perspectives

Guidelines for Interaction

Each side displays respect for each other

Don’t insult people!

Role of the Moderator

The moderator ensures that each side gets enough time

When the moderator does not need to say anything

The moderator should take notes of arguments

Moderator does not have to say much in order to keep the discussion flowing

Quality of Argumentation

When both sides end up having the same opinion

When everyone has very good arguments, so good that there is no replying to the other group

Make the other group be unable to counter arguments

Change the mind of other side to agree with your argument
